The frontal boundary from Nebraska moved into western Iowa during the evening hours.  The airmass was unstable, but not overly so.  CAPE values were around 1500 J/kg with Lifted Indices around -2.  There was about 45 kts of effective shear in place.  A few thunderstorms developed ahead of the boundary with one of the cells becoming severe.  The first tornado occurred in Calhoun County at 2358 UTC where the tornado dropped into a farm field between York ave and Zearing Ave south of 320th St. about 2 miles north of Farnhamville.  The tornado was an F1 tornado as it crossed the intersection of Zearing and 320th St.  IT destroyed dome outbuildings north of the intersection and continued moving northeast toward Slifer in Webster County.  The tornado remained on the ground crossing the Calhoun/Webster County line crossing County Road D46 between Zebulon Ave and County Road P29.  The tornado destroyed three grain bins and just missed a farm.  Debris was tossed over several hundred yards before the tornado weakened and lifted for the first time prior to reaching Slifer.  The F1 tornado was on the ground for about 4 miles during this time with F1 strength and a width of 50 to 100 yards.  The tornado was reported on the ground very intermittently from this point on with numerous reports southwest of Callender, northeast through the Woodman Hol State preserve and into the Brushy Creek State Reserve.  At this point, the tornado lifted.  The parent storm continued into Hamilton County.  A brief touchdown was reported in Hamilton County north of Blairsburg.  No damage was reported and the tornado roped out quickly.
